Nearly a year after father and son tow truck operators were
arrested on dozens of counts of forgery, grand theft and other

Nearly a year after father and son tow truck operators were arrested on dozens of counts of forgery, grand theft and other felony charges, the duo’s case will most likely be transferred to a San Jose judge.
Attorneys for Vincent Cardinalli, Sr., 65, his son Paul Greer, 31, two other family members, and a process server are scheduled to appear at the South County Courthouse in San Martin today to discuss setting a date for a preliminary hearing. However, Deputy District Attorney Dale Lohman expects presiding Superior Court Judge Kenneth Shapero to reassign the case to a San Jose judge due to the length of time estimated for the preliminary hearing, a process that could take up to six weeks, she said.
“It’s hard to have one judge out of commission for that long,” she said.
The date for setting the preliminary hearing has been postponed several times so that lawyers could fully digest stacks of evidence documenting years worth of alleged fraudulent towing practices.
